There are so many things that compete for our attention – work, finances, chores – that inevitably we lose sight of all the precious momentsand wondrous beauty that fill our lives on a daily basis. So, as I snuggle in to dream about plum fairies, I recall with great joy some of my favorite winter blessings.

Self-Indulgences

The excuse that it is simply too cold to go outside allowing me to pursue my indoor pleasures while enjoying the beauty of the outdoors through the windows sheltering me from the frigid temperatures outside.

Being curled up in a cozy cocoon of my favorite throw while reading a great book.

Some of these pleasures are available year-round while others are truly wintry treats. Even when our funds are scant, our hearts can be overflowing with joy and love as we delight in the wonders and beauty of the season without spending any money.

I LOVE winter!! I especially love SNOW!! Last year we didn’t get much snow (like many 6 inches total for the whole winter), so it made for a VERY LONG winter. This year, however, we already have more than that.

I’d been wanting to get out and play in the snow for a couple of weeks, but we were having problems finding boots for my daughter. Yesterday we finally found her some boots, and she and I (along with a friend and her son) enjoyed some snow time!

Way to put it into perspective for me! I frequently find myself only seeing the negatives to snowy winters with young children! Thank you for making me think about the positives as well!

I agree with Bloggin’ Mama – THank you for putting it into perspective. I detest cold but I love snuggling up in warmth inside and sharing moments with my children.
